HI FOlks,
My Natural Resources Foundation trip to Avon Bottoms was a bit windy and the
water was very high, but we managed to see some good birds. Early Prothonotary
nests are in full swing. A number of boxes had eggs including one box with a
female brooding a full clutch (5 eggs). THis is a much earlier date than the
Atlas reports (by my reading).
Also seen/heard: Cerulean Warbler at Nelson Road boat landing, Blackburnian,
Black-throated Green, Golden-winged (common this spring), Black-and-white,
Chestnut-sided, Nashville, Tennesee, Yellow, waterthrush, ovenbird, parula,
yellowthroat and numerous redstarts. Pewees seemed to have moved in along with
more red-eyed vireos. One Red-shouldered Hawk was heard near the Beloit-Newark
road boat landing.
Tonight while biking home (working on green big year) I saw a flock of 140+
Black Terns on Lake Waubesa. Easily the biggest flock I've ever seen. Also
numerous Common Nighthawks.
